Korbinian Holzer (5)

Bio

Anaheim Ducks‘ 13th year defenseman Korbinian Holzer(5) gets rewarded for a season high 7 points (2 goals, 5 assists) with a brand new 2-year 1-way extension after appearing in a conservative 32 NHL but also made an appearance in his first five big league postseason contests.

Always coming in at a very cap friendly wage, the big 6’3″ 215 lbs. European blue liner is nice to have around as he can be easily inserted into a lineup ready to go and more often than not do some good.

The thinking with his new deal might be the 29-year old is ready to step into a top six role.

He’s only ever played for two teams in North America.

The other team of course being his draft clubToronto Maple Leafs, who chose him in the 4th round of 2006 (#111 overall).

He spent his first 5 years with them but he’s set to do his next 5 in California.
